The first Christmas cards were commissioned by Sir Henry Cole. Illustrations were done by John Callcott Horsley in 1843. Although there was some controversy over the scene depicted in the card (the family was shown drinking), Cole saw this as a moneymaking idea. He introduced the â??penny postâ?? three years later, selling the cards for a shilling each.
